The plastic front panel of a desktop computer is the Front Panel.The pin area on the motherboard, that the cables (Wires) from the Front Panel connect to, is the Front Panel header.

Tell me the manufacturer name, and Model Number of the computer, or tell me the manufacturer name, and Model Number of the motherboard, and let me see if I can find a Pinout for it's Front Panel header.(What pins the cables connect to)Post in a Comment.

Carefully double check the connection header pins and the leads that come from the front panel for LEDS indicators and push button switches. The motherboard manual will indicate what the numbering scheme is for the header pins (which pin is #1, etc.) and where they are physically located on the board itself. You may have simply connected one or more switches and indicators to the wrong pin. Getting them straight should solve the problem.

Hi u can easily solve this problem.
open your computer cover and and see the motherboard front panel connectors. a use of screw driver touch any two front panel connectors if any led or switch working this condition you can note this and connect successfully. one by one touch all penal connections and u will be solve ur problem thanks mukesh kumarmukesh_ibm@yahoo.com

Assuming that the computer is laying down on it's right side, and you are viewing the F panel (the front panel header) from the right side of the motherboard (the bottom of the computer), pin 1 is on the bottom left of the F panel, pin 2 is on the top left, pin 9 is on the lower right, and pin 10 is on the top right (no actual pin)...

translated this is top row left to right ...... power led, power switch no connection

Bottom row is left to right........ hard drive, reset, no connection

Note: not all computer cases have a reset button, also the connectors for power led and hard drive produce a light, if the light does not show, power off the pc swithc the cable rooun 180deg on the connector pins and reconnect.

You'll need to know the model of your motherboard, and search for the motherboard manual in the internet if you don't have one.. in the manual search about the power pin connections and you will see where to connect those wires into the pin..TY

How about a picture? Pg. 46 in your manual.Need manual, download from Intel. (Click on link).http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/RC440BX/sb/CS-013608.htmIntel RC440BX SpecificationPg. 46 Basic rules case wiring. The color black is considered ground -. Power wires + can be any other color including stripped wires. (This is standard but case Mfg change to their own specification).Pin 1 is + power for LED Hard drive green LED, Pin 2 is -/ground for Hard drive LED.(Pin 3 is + power for LED Hard drive yellow LED, Pin 4 is -/ground for Hard drive LED).(See more options on pg. 47).Pin 5 is + power for case On/off button, Pin 6 is -/ground On/off button. Pin 7 is + power for Reset Switch, Pin 8 is -/ground for Reset Switch.Once positive & negative pins has been located each connector follows in suit.The Intel RC440BX front case connector is in an odd location. The user will find it hard to connect front case LED connectors while the board in installed into the case.Good Luck!Mike

All motherboards have a print beside the pins,
Speaker= "speak",
"pwr s" =powerswitch, "HDDled" red light on front, rst = reset switch [not allways used] "pwr led" Green led, the case wires are usualy marked on the plug ends with the same ,
"hdd" "reset" and so on. The power switch will work both way's around however the led lights wont. You will not hurt anything if they are the wrong way around, they just wont work so if you dont get lights just reverse the polarity.
If by chance the case wires do not have labels the just trace them to the case front panel and plug them into the corresponding board pins.
